| Additional Information: | This two story Commercial vernacular styled building features a rectangluar shaped plan configuration, a brick and wood exterior and a flat roof. A stepped parapet distinguishes the facade. The building, which is in good condition, was owned by Dr. John Keating in 1982. There he ran an optometry business, Keating & Brockhaus - Optomotrists. This c. 1850s building is architecturally significant in that it represents a type, period, or method of construction. (See Bib. Ref. A). It is historically significant in that it is associated with the development of a locality. For architectural and historical statements, see the NRHP Nomination Form. |
